Extra care

Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

Similar to sheltered housing, but with additional care and support available for people with illnesses or disabilities who wish to have a home of their own. Extra-care housing may be an option if living alone at home is difficult, but you do not wish to opt for residential care. It allows you to have your own home, either rented or bought, with personal care and domestic help readily available.
